Ikaros family members, including Ikaros and Helios, play a role in the development of lymphocytes and B and T cells. They are nuclear factors that colocalize with DNA replication machinery components in higher-order chromatin structures and respond to signaling events, such as T cell activation. Helios and Ikaros bind to similar DNA sequences, and they function as hemopoietic-specific transcription factors. Members of the Ikaros family contain zinc-finger domains that are involved in DNA-binding and in the formation of homodimers and heterodimers between Ikaros family members. Expression of Ikaros is primarily detected in the thymus and spleen, where it is essential for regulating T cell specific gene transcription and for the differentiation and commitment of early hemopoietic progenitors to the B and T lymphoid lineages. Ikaros and Helios also appear to regulate cell cycle entry by inducing transcriptional repression under varying conditions and, thereby, mediate T cell activation and IL-2 mediated signaling events.
